In the last post I failed to mention that ;because of my new job, I had to drop out of school. And after the breakup with my boyfriend, I have been thinking about what I want to do with my life. Well, there are a few things that I want to do. One of them being going back to school and finishing my degree or starting a new one. I want to get into reptile breeding in hopes of lowering the number of bush babies being brought into the country and sold as well as making some of the more expensive color morphs and patterns of reptiles more affordable for the average person. Another thing I want to do is make something out of myself with my art.
I have thought about moving up north before and now I have been thinking about it more seriously than ever. I have a friend who also wants to move up north and we have been conversing back and forth about it and where we would want to go. However, we both know that it would take about three years for us to save up for the move and one of us would have to move up there first to secure a house and a job. But we came to the conclusion that we would probably end up in Washington. Of course, we would most likely live near the coast and between us both we would need a fairly decent sized place. And in Olympia, they have a liberal arts school called Evergreen State College that I would try to get into under a transfer degree. But living up there is expensive, but the cost of living is higher there, so you end up getting paid more at a job up there than I do here in Tennessee. That is why I mentioned in the previous post that I will be selling prints. I'll let you know the prices of them when I get ready to start posting them.
Aside from all of that, what are your thoughts about moving up to WA? Do you think it would be a good move? Or do you have a better place in mind that would be worth looking into? Let me know what you think in the comment section below.

I know it's been a while and I have said this before, but some things have happened and now I am back for good this time. The reason why I have been gone for so long is actually due to multiple events that have happened in my life. The first big change that happened is getting a new job. I no longer have to clean up after high schoolers!!!! Instead, I now work in a factory, operating machines that weld car mufflers together before shipping them off to be placed under a car in another factory. Aside from that, my grandfather passed away, my grandmother has been in and out of the hospital a few times, I ended up in the ER one night and got hurt at work two times, and my boyfriend of five years ended up breaking up me... That all happened within the past four to five months, so it's been pretty busy around here. But now I will have time for art and animating short films and all of that fun stuff. However, I want to be able to have completed pieces of art to post. So, I will start posting one drawing every week at the beginning of the year. This will give me time to work on several pieces now and get on a routine so work doesn't end up interfering with posting art. Also, the completed art pieces will have watermarks over them since I will be selling prints of various sizes and prices. They will be for sale with limited quantities. The amount of prints I make will depend on how popular they are, but there will never be a print exceeding 100 prints up for grabs. To purchase a print, there will be a link in the description under the watermarked piece that leads you to where you can purchase it and select the size you want to buy. Again, they will not be available until the first of the year and only when it is posted. I will keep you all posted on the progress and keep an eye out for sneak peeks at some of the pieces that will be up for sale in the near future!

About Me

I have been creating art ever since I can remember. When I was little, my mother used to create beautiful oil paintings. She had been working on a big one for a while and would put it in her closet to keep it safe. But she had a slight problem with that: me.

I got into her closet one day and found the hidden piece of art. I had the brilliant idea of playing with it and soon found out it would be more fun than I had first thought it would be since the oil painting was still wet. I got creative with it, turning it into my own piece of art called, "little hands all over mommy's painting." I had a blast! My mother wasn't too happy with it, but she decided to let it dry then cut it into pieces. She kept one of the pieces she cut, then gave the others to friends as gifts. That was my first piece of art ever created. And ever since then, I have been creating art in many different ways. I have hundreds of photos I took of the moon, sunsets, uniquely colored skies, animals, and many more. I have a few paintings I created and a shelf full of traditional drawings I have been creating since elementary school. But, my favorites are the creations I draw digitally. I create digital drawings by using a Wacom Bamboo Tablet and the program Paint Tool SAI. My dream job would be working as either a game designer or for a gaming company one day. It would be awesome to have a career doing what I love to do the most.

I think that about covers it. If there is anything I left out that you would like to know, feel free to ask. Also, I appreciate any and all critiques of my art. It helps me to improve my skills so I can create better pieces. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my art!
